How to Throw an Epic Bluey Birthday Party for Any Toddler Who Loves Bluey

If you have a toddler who loves Bluey, keep reading to find some of the best Bluey-themed birthday party tips, decorations, and favors.
Tips for Throwing a Great Bluey-Themed Birthday Party
To take your Bluey Birthday Party to the next level, consider these suggestions:
- Make it Personal. Consider a mix of store-bought decorations and handmade treats and decor. For example, with this fun Bluey Printable, you can make Bluey and Bingo balloons that are unlike anything you could find in the store.
- Keep it Simple. At its core, the show is about finding the simple joy in living life together, so remember that less is more. One good way to decorate for a Bluey Birthday Bash without going overboard is to use a simple blue and orange (for Bluey and Bingo) color scheme and then sprinkle in some cartoon images as needed.
- Play Lots of Party Games! Remember to leave time for play! Whether it’s a simple game of Keepy-Uppy, a fun scavenger hunt (complete with explorer hats!), a few rounds of Bluey Bingo, or some hilarious Bluey charades be sure to have lots of party games.
Bluey & Bingo Foil Balloons
OK. We know we said you should make your own handmade Bluey and Bingo balloons. And we really think you should! But…if you just don’t have time for all that this year, these foil character balloons are the next best thing. Each shiny balloon measures nearly three-feet tall, making them about the same size as your toddler. How fun! Note that these balloons arrive flat and will have to be filled with either helium or air.
Blue Dog Ears
Even better than a party hat! Get these sparkly blue dog ears for the birthday girl to let everyone know it’s her special day. Crafted with soft materials for comfort and attached to curved hair clips for a snug fit on kids and adults alike, these are sure to make the birthday bash more festive. Best part is they double as a birthday present – after the party, have fun playing dress up, recreating your favorite Bluey episodes or embarking on brand new adventures. If you worry that hair clips are too fussy, try these Blue and Orange Dog Ear Headbands instead!
Chattermax Pinata
In a show that’s known for being calm and relaxing for kids and adults alike, Chattermax is infamous for being the one character who’s annoying. Let your Bluey partygoers get out their aggression on a Chattermax pinata. Maybe once it’s burst and all the candy has scattered to the ground, you can finally get that horrible song out of your head! .
Blue and Orange Foil Fringe Curtains
Transform your party space into Bluey’s magical backyard with blue & orange Foil Fringe Curtains! These shimmering foil strands create a perfect backdrop for party photos that pop. While there are lots of blue and orange photo backdrops available on Amazon, we like this version because they’re easy to hang with the included adhesive and they come with two sets of fringe so you can create a fuller effect.
Bluey Featherwand Craft Station
For an easy way to keep your Bluey partygoers entertained, set up a “Create Your Own Featherwand” station. Let kids glue beads, ribbons, glitter, sequins, etc. to large craft feathers and give a prize for the most interesting creations. This also doubles as a party game – once the featherwands are created, the kids can use them to control when things are heavy or light for the adults! (If you don’t want to play this game on repeat for a gazillion years, make a “Featherwand Charging Station” where the kids have to charge their wands when they run out of power.)
Bluey Temporary Tattoos
All kids love temporary tattoos, and this mega-pack of Bluey temporary tattoos includes 20 sheets or 650 individual tattoos! Use them like hand-stamps for the Bluey dance party room, put a couple as party favors in each kid’s treat bag, or give them out as prizes for games. You’ll have plenty – so use them as you see fit! Easy to apply and safe for the skin, these tattoos will bring smiles and giggles to the little ones
Bluey Dance Mode Game
Dance mats are almost as popular of a craze among the toddler set as the Blue Dog. Why not combine the two and create a “Bluey Dance Mode” game at your party with a couple of these blue dance challenge mats. When they walk in the door, give each kid a couple of “Dance Mode” tickets. (We couldn’t find a good printable for these, but they should be easy enough to design yourself!) At any time during the party, they can hand their ticket to a grown up and make the adult complete a dance challenge on the mat!
Bluey Bean Bag Toss
The official Bluey website has tons of guides and printables for Bluey-themed party decorations, games, treat bags, and more. This Bluey Bean Bag Toss printable and instruction guide looks really easy and fun to make! However, if you’re not interested in making your own bean bags by hand, grab a set of mini bean bags on Amazon and call it a day. We like this highly-rated set because the smaller bags are perfect for tiny hands, and it comes in its own mesh bag for easy storage.
Bluey Party Supplies Bundle
If you’re more of a shopper than a DIYer when it comes to party decorations, then you can’t go wrong with this epic Bluey party supplies bundle. It’s a one-stop-shop for everything you need to throw the ultimate Bluey bash. The set comes with one large foil balloon, eight latex balloons, sixteen dinner plates, dessert plates, and napkins, a ‘Happy Birthday’ banner, a tablecloth, and even a birthday button! If you need supplies for more guests, simply add on more Bluey plates, cups, and napkins from the same company and you’re good to go!
Bluey Felt Masks
Your tiny party guests will have so much fun with these soft felt masks of their favorite characters from the big-hearted animated series. Put these Bluey felt masks in party favor bags for guests to take home or pass them out as they arrive to wear at the party. Either way, these are sure to be a smash with toddlers who love Bluey!
Blue & Orange Balloon Arch
What’s more fun than a handful of blue and orange balloons at a Bluey-themed birthday party? How about a gigantic balloon garland, complete with a bone-shaped balloon? These balloons capture the energetic essence of Bluey’s animated adventures, with vivid blues reminiscent of our beloved Blue Heeler pup, paired with vibrant oranges that add a pop of contrast and fun. Inflate them to set the mood for a playful, lively atmosphere that’s sure to have your little guests jumping around in excitement. Whether scattered around the party area or bundled together for a dramatic centerpiece, these balloons are the perfect finishing touch to your Bluey celebration!
Bluey Birthday Shirts
Get pumped for the upcoming Bluey Birthday Bash by making your own Bluey birthday shirts! This set of iron on transfer decals includes seven Bluey family members and lots of birthday elements (including Birthday Girl/Birthday Boy and numbers) so you can design custom birthday shirts with ease. It’s a 5-minute DIY craft the whole family will enjoy! Or, buy multiple packs and design Bluey T-shirts as a party activity.
Bluey Music Album
It’s not a party without music! This album is jam-packed with hits from Season 1 that any Blueyfan will love, including music from fan favorite episodes like ‘KeepyUppy’ and ‘Here Come the Grannies!’ Get the whole party dancing and moving with peppy songs like ‘The Claw’ or ‘Taxi’ or play the famous and catchy theme tune to greet guests as they arrive.
Bluey Suncatchers
Another great idea if you’re throwing a Bluey-themed birthday party for your toddler is to let guests do an easy craft project that they can take home as a party favor. We love this suncatcher kit because it’s simple (with a little supervision!) and it includes 18 individual projects, so one purchase will likely work for your entire guest list. However, there are tons of other Bluey craft options you can choose from, including Bluey sand art, paintable Bluey figurines, Bluey friendship bracelets, and more.
DIY Bluey Treat Bags
Speaking of party favors and crafting, here’s another idea that will occupy your tiny party guests and give them something to take home. Have them design their own Bluey treat bags! Grab a pack of these light blue cardboard treat boxes and some paint and Bluey stencils (or even a bunch of Bluey stickers) and let them go to town. Bonus: When they’re done, they can pack their treat boxes with Yes/No Button cookies and candy from the party so you’re not stuck with too many sugary leftovers.
Bluey Cupcake Rings
As you can probably tell by now, we love party items that can pull double-duty. Like these adorable Bluey Cupcake Rings that double as party decor and party favors in one! Sure, you could spend hours making the famous Bluey Duck Cake (and probably wind up on Cake Fails!) OR. You could whip up a batch of pretty cupcakes, slap one of these bad boys on top of each one, and call it a day.
Bluey Notepad Favors
Think back to when you were a little kid – often, there was nothing more exciting than some blank paper and a couple crayons or colored pencils. That’s why we love these cute kawaii style mini notebooks as party favors for your Bluey-themed party. They’re vibrantly colored and extra adorable…and you get 24 individual notebooks! Throw in a mini pack of crayons for a crowd-pleasing Bluey party favor.
Paw Print Treat Bag
Sometimes when you’re throwing a themed birthday party, the decor can get a little heavy-handed. You know your toddler loves Bluey – but do you really need to plaster that adorable little pup on every square inch of the house? If you’re planning your Bluey birthday party and getting the Bluey blues…try mixing it up with a few other colors and patterns. These cute Paw Print Treat Bags bring a new motif into the mix while still staying consistent with the overall theme. For an even bigger impact, try these individual, reusable paw print drawstring backpacks!
Paw Print Crazy Straws
As if kids didn’t love crazy straws enough – now they come with glitter-filled paw prints?! Delight your party guests by putting one of these in their take-home bags. And delight their parents with the fact that the glitter is encased in a durable plastic paw print instead of all over their rugs. The 24-pack of crazy straws includes 8 different designs.
Bluey Popcorn Boxes
Perhaps you plan to watch a few episodes of everyone’s favorite show at your Bluey-themed birthday party. If so, we recommend ‘The Claw’ and ‘Grannies’ for sure. We also recommend that you order these popcorn boxes featuring Bluey and Bingo’s playful adventures. Fill with popcorn, bite-sized baked treats, or candies to make the viewing experience even more special.
Blue & Orange Bunting
If you don’t want to make your own Bluey-themed party bunting, this mix of bright blues and oranges is highly-rated on Amazon and will look good mixed in with your other party decor. This bunting gives you a full 10-meters (nearly 33-feet!) to work with, so you can cut it up to use in multiple areas or drape it from the ceiling to create a festive, magical atmosphere. Reviewers also praise it for its soft, durable cotton fabric. A great value for the money!
Bluey Dance Mode Cake Toppers
How cute are these? Bluey and Bingo Cake Toppers that actually dance. The ready-to-use cake decoration features moving Bluey and Bingo Figurines together with a Muffin and Socks Poly Pic. Simply add to your home baked, or store bought, cake for an instant transformation. The strong plastic picks ensure that the Bluey Dance Party set stays steady on your cake.
Bluey Birthday Girl Dress
Give your favorite Bluey fan an early birthday present that they can wear to their party to let everyone know who’s day it is. We love this layered, twirly Bluey Party Dress and this dapper Bluey and Bingo Hawaiian Shirt. Either option will make your toddler feel all dressed up on their special day!
Birthday Boy Hawaiian Shirt
Give your favorite Bluey fan an early birthday present that they can wear to their party to let everyone know who’s day it is. We love this layered, twirly Bluey Party Dress and this dapper Bluey and Bingo Hawaiian Shirt. Either option will make your toddler feel all dressed up on their special day!
Bluey Party Favor Megapack
If you’re looking for some easy treat bag filler, check out this megapack of Bluey-themed party favors. For a reasonable price, you get 50 adorable Bluey stickers, 12 Bluey slap bracelets, and 10 Bluey shoe charms. What a deal! And so easy, too. Add these mini Magic Ink Bluey Coloring Books and a few pieces of candy to your treat bags and you’re done!
Bluey Bubble Machine
Pick up a Bluey Dance Mode Bubble Microphone to take your party from every day play to extraordinary fun. Just like the joyful playtimes of Bluey and Bingo, this bubble machine brings the fun and excitement of the Heeler family adventures to your party. Let the kids take turns doing dance and singing challenges with the bubble-dropping microphone or simply set it up on a table or shelf and let the bubbles fly.
Bluey Plastic Cups
Sure, you could use some regular, preprinted Bluey Goodie Bags for your take-home party favors. But if you’re looking for something a little different (and reusable!) try these Bluey Plastic Tumblers. They’re colorful, sturdy, and the perfect size for little hands. Fill them with candies, little treats, gifts, and party favors, then wrap everything in some blue paw print cellophane. The container itself becomes part of the gift!
Conclusion
So get creative with it, be playful – but don’t stress! If there’s anything that Bluey has taught us, it’s that kids value spontaneous, quality time with their parents way more than perfectly-planned and perfectly-decorated parties.
